Our services for Quebec plants and SMEs
The PMERMO application remains our main service. After you apply, we can follow your agreement. For 25 people or more, we also prepare francization.

- the recovery plan;
- the training grant application and its calculator.
What you do yourself
- you enter your employees' names and SINs;
- you sign and submit the applications;

The price does not depend on your application being approved. See a sample file.
REF. 02During the agreement
Work-Sharing agreement follow-up
$200 per month, cancel anytime
Your agreement with Service Canada lasts months. Every week there is a report to send. Other dates come up along the way. We track them with you.
What we do
- a written calendar of your agreement, with the official dates;
- a reminder every week for the utilization report;
- dated reminders before an extension, a change to the agreement and each grant report;
- drafts of forms and reports, with no employee names;
- the training log, in overall figures;
- a one-page wrap-up at the end of the agreement.
What you do yourself
- you fill in and send the utilization report every week. It contains names, SINs and hours: we never receive it;
- you sign and send the forms;
- you write to Service Canada yourself.
We do not promise that an extension will be accepted or that payments will be made: Service Canada decides.
REF. 0325 people or more
OQLF francization
On quote
A business that employs 25 people or more in Quebec for 6 months must register with the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF). An official process follows, with its own dates. We prepare the documents with you and track those dates.
REF. 04Construction
Construction subcontractors
Do you use construction subcontractors? Tracking their certificates is done on conformeo.ca (in French).
For all our services: you file and deal with the government yourself. We do not give legal advice. The price is fixed and stated in writing. Do not write any employee names in the form. See the terms of service.

Key terms
- PMERMO (WRRP)
- Workforce Retention and Retraining Program. The federal program that combines Work-Sharing and the training grant.
- Work-Sharing
- Your employees work fewer hours instead of being laid off. Employment Insurance pays them part of the lost wages.
- Agreement
- The Work-Sharing contract signed with Service Canada. It sets the dates, the employees and the hours.
- Utilization report
- The weekly report: hours worked and hours lost by each employee. The employer sends it to Service Canada.
- Recovery plan
- The document that explains how you plan to win back orders and return to normal hours. It is not a bankruptcy procedure.
- Training grant
- The Retraining Grant. It pays for your employees' training during the hours they do not work. Its calculator is the official Service Canada spreadsheet that sets the amount.
